How Much Have We Lost?

Take Advantage of New DMV Rules

In August, I turn forty years-old. Given the new DMV policy that started about 10 years ago, that also means I just got my driver's license renewal forms. Right on the front was a notice about our new fee structure.

Starting July 1, 2011, any DMV transaction that can be done online will cost an extra $5 if conducted at a DMV branch. If a transaction can only be performed at a DMV, then there will be no surcharges.

The hope is that this will shrink lines, manpower needs, and ultimately save taxpayer dollars. I will be renewing my driver's license by mail or online to save my five bucks.
